DAYTON - Senior Bulldog Dain Henderson stood before a crowd of teammates, schoolmates, coaches and family to read from the page he held. "I am a Bulldog. I've played for Bulldogs of the past and Bulldogs of the future. I have known success, and I have known defeat. I have known sorrow, and I have known joy. I am a Bulldog." The words came from a letter presented to the Bulldogs just before their final district playoffs game against Asotin two weeks ago. It was written by Roseann Groom, mother...
SPOKANE - The 2011 Cardinals already went further in the state playoffs than last year by placing in the Final 8 at University High School. And during the fourth quarter of their first game against the Bear Creek Grizzlies at the arena Friday, it seemed possible they might go even further. The game went into overtime after the teams tied at 47-47. But in the end, the hardfighting WP team hit a wall on Friday in the form of their opponents' speed, which pushed the outcome in the Grizzlies'...
DAYTON - The weather couldn't have cooperated more beautifully for a day on the slopes shooting Snow Hoops with former Seattle Supersonic and sixtime NBA champion Shawn Kemp, said new Ski Bluewood co-owner Mike Stephenson.

"The season was awesome," Cardinal Kayla Huxoll said. "We played our hardest. I'm...
WAITSBURG - The last time Jeff Hofer played in an alumni basketball tournament, he had a great time being out on the court again. At the Waitsburg Alumni Tournament four years ago, he had a chance to relive some of the glory from 1985, when the Cardinals placed fourth in the state. Back then, Hofer was a senior varsity player on the squad. Recently, he has been enjoying basketball success vicariously through his kids - senior T.J., who is on the winning 2010 Cardinals team, and Katie, who is a...
SPOKANE - Cool and confident, the Cardinals rolled up their sleeves and went to work like it was just another day at the office, dismantling the Brewster Bears 63-50 in the first round of the state playoffs Friday. They are now in the final eight, returning to Spokane next to play Redmond's Bear Creek Grizzlies at 2 p.m. on Thursday.

WALLA WALLA - Dayton brought plenty of spirit, plenty of fans and plenty of energy to George Ball Court on Saturday night, but they didn't bring enough net to carry them on to state. The Bulldogs put up a good fight against the Asotin Panthers in the final game of the Southeast 2B District 9 boys basketball championship at Whitman College, but Asotin took the 60-53 victory and ended Dayton's 10-11 basketball season.

WALLA WALLA - The Cardinals and the Irish traded the lead in their district tournament game nine times, indicating how close the game was until the final minute or so. That's when DeSales' fouls finally caught up with the WP opponent and senior Cardinals Genesis Pearson, Megan Withers plus junior Krystal Harris put the game away 40-36. "That was exciting," head coach Jerry Baker said with more than a hint of the understated. "I knew it was going to be a tough game. But we played good defense...
WALLA WALLA - A field shot from Bulldog Garett Turner circled the hoop and spun out instead of going in. Minutes later, on the other side of the court, Cardinal Matt Hamilton battled for the ball time and again until he finally had the rebound.

In the end, it was a mixture of luck and a margin of superiority that gave WP its district tournament win over Dayton Friday. But the Bulldogs, who were on fire from...

But running over league teams repeatedly like a...
WALLA WALLA - If there were ever a team that deserved to place third in the league and play tough, second-ranked Asotin in the Panthers' own den Wednesday, it's the Dayton Bulldogs men's team.

WAITSBURG - Until Cardinals announcer Fred Hamann spoke the words, it hadn't quite sunk in for the players and hometown crowd on Kison Court after the final buzzer sounded.
